Dungeness crab with ginger and scallion, many years ago at a Chinese restaurant on University Avenue in Palo Alto. It was so good I can't remember anything else about what I ate.
I really wish I could:
Have room to expand my small, no-counter no-cabinet kitchen.
My favorite comfort food:
Grilled cheese. White bread, American cheese (not cheese food or product) and maybe tomato. Bliss
My most tattered cookbooks:
How to Cook Everything (Bittman). The Best Recipe (Cooks Illustrated.) The Good Food of Szechuan (Delf). James Beard's American Cookery. Mastering the Art of French Cooking (especially volume 1).
